On Nov. 1, 2024, Amazon launched a Virtual Holiday Shop, a virtual showroom where Amazon shoppers can browse some of the retailer’s best gifts, decorations, and other festive items.
Here’s more info on what Amazon’s Virtual Holiday Shop offers and how it can help you check off your holiday shopping list.
The Amazon Virtual Holiday Shop is a digital showroom that uses 3D technology to make you feel like you’re in a real store. (It’s giving Macy’s of Herald Square circa 2015 vibes.)
When the page opens, you’ll hear cheerful music and see virtual displays of the latest holiday products and gift ideas, each separated by category (e.g., beauty, tech, etc.).
How does it work?
To actually shop the virtual showroom, move your mouse or use your touchscreen to go from section to section. You can click on individual items to see more details and add them to your cart as you browse.
